What happened at WCG Poland?
- As we know in sport none got the license for winning, me neither. Another fact is that I wasn't prepared as well as I could. Moreover polish WCG has been always difficult, there are many rookies who surprise our scene every year.
What can you say about Dreiven, his game play etc? Was he the right guy to go this year?
- Considering the fact that he has won the whole tournament then surely he deserved it. I can't really say much about his gameplay because I haven't seen his games. Anyway even though he was unknown to the international scene I have known him for a long time and I saw few times nice performance from him. I wish him good luck at the finals.
How come you are the second player to go and not Fosken who came second in the playoffs?
- Unfortunately all of the players above me didn't manage to find the financial support. Polish WCG sponsors cover costs for only one StarCraft player so if anyone else wanted to go then he had to find sponsorship. Even though my place wasn't high it was possible for me to go because it already happened in the past.
And how did you find the financial support, if I may ask? Who is helping you out?
- At the moment my dad's company is sponsoring me but it doesn't have any connection with computer gaming so any advertisement at WCG is kinda useless. That's why I'm still open for the offers from other companies/teams. If in the end I won't find any serious sponsorship I will stay with my parents support, same as it happened when I was flying to Korea. And again I will be very thankful to them for their help.
WCG Grand Final Group A
Midian
SteelHeart
Fenix
Draco
Have you seen the group drawings yet? Midian, SteelHeart, Fenix, what do you think about your chances of moving on from the group stage?
- Our group has only 4 players so only 2 of us will be eliminated. I won't say that this group is easy because it would be conceit to claim that any top player from any country is not a dangerous player. Everything may happen. Anyway I predict my self to advance from the first or second place.
What do you think of this years "group of death" (Group H, Testie, Mondragon, ChingizKhan, ReasoN and sAviOr)? Should they start seeding the groups instead of the random system they use now?
- It would be hard to find any fair seed system. Seems like Mondragon is very unlucky since he has been every year in the toughest group. There will be a lot of great and dramatic matches and who knows.... ? Maybe sAviOr won't advance to the next round. With best of one in the group and with three other strong players in the same group that's not impossible. You don't have to search long, just look in the past - Midas was already out of the tournament with one foot but because Mondragon lost to me he could advance to the bracket stage.
You're also one of the invited foreigners (again) to the next round of PGL, together with Testie. It should mean you are in top shape for WCG in October - What do you think of your chances in total? Will we see the Polish flag in Top 3 this year?
- I have been always dreaming about medal from WCG and if I achieve it I think I could finish my StarCraft career being satisfied. I will try my best but it will be a lot about the structure of the brackets. I made some small analysis and it seems that there is a chance to not meet any Korean until finals but I may also meet savior very fast (I think in 2nd round of bracket). Even if it happens I will try to remind what I learned in Korea and show it up : )
